The vinyl siding was recently removed from 205-207 Warren Street. It was disappointing there was no clapboard to be found underneath and no evidence of the original size of the ground floor windows.
The picture doesn't show much of the western half of the building, but it appears from this picture, taken in the 1950s, that the western half of the facade may then still have had its original configuration.
This picture, however, found in the visual treasure trove that is PhotobyGibson.com, shows that in 1966 there was a retail business in the western half of the building as well.
In 1966, Columbia Wine & Liquor Store was located at 205 Warren Street, and although no photograph has been found of the exterior of the building at this time in its history, the exterior very unlikely coordinated with the interior.
Now, two decades into the 21st century, the building, which is probably close to 200 years old, is on its way to looking like this.
